Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in PirateForms WordPress Plugin
CVE-2024-11273
6.1MEDIUM
What is CVE-2024-11273?
The Contact Form & SMTP Plugin for WordPress by PirateForms versions earlier than 2.6.0 does not adequately sanitize and escape certain settings. This lack of proper validation enables high privilege users, like administrators, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, compromising security even in configurations where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as in multisite environments.
Affected Version(s)
Contact Form & SMTP Plugin for WordPress by PirateForms 0 < 2.6.0
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
